Fascinating. I kept thinking I would just read a small portion of the book as part of a project I am doing and I couldn't put it aside. I kept reading. I found out some very interesting facts about the deception techniques used during wars. I found the information about WWII deceptions especially interesting. I hope there is a niche group of students who are also attracted to this book. I tis very well-written, has excellent source notes, bibliography, and image credits.

Decent book, but couldn’t hold my attention for very long. I guess I’m not the most interested in military strategy after all

Great nonfiction read for middle school age teens. Liked this author's other work about spies. Most focus of the book was WWII European front (with no mention of any deceptions in WWII Asian war front). Gulf War received about 14 pages, scant few for Korean and Vietnam War compared to WWII European front.
Would have loved more research about pre-1900 Asian wars and conflicts and the use of deception.
